Bitches Brew, 42 years later

This year, Western Edition pays tribute to the Miles Davis album Bitches brew with a series of 8 decks. The original artwork for the album cover was created by Mati Klarwein, whose son Balthazar is a passionate skater himself. That little detail led to the commissioning of the artwork, but unfortunately the decks have sold out

in no time, despite the high price tag. i doubt you’ll have more luck at your local skate shop either.

it has now been 42 years since Bitches Brew was 1st released under Columbia records, renowned for its unconventional style and revolutionary sound, this album is said to be one of the most remarkable creative statements of the last half century,  in any artistic form.

Since being signed to THE BLACK DIAMOND CLUB in 2010 Nilz DaEmcee (24) has shared stages with many of Jo’burg most talented artists at events like the Wits Beer Garden, Monash Born Free Beer fest, North Riding Green Bottle party and The Riverside Hip Hop Session – where he rocked crowds with songs from his “Big Bang Theory EP” and “Cover to Cover vol. 1 mix tape”. Nilz has gone on to re-invent himself, breaking the industry norms of rappers just being rappers, by becoming a Rhythm 100 Internet Radio Dj (host on street exile – wednesday 5 – 8 pm). His show like his music is a tenement to the phrase “hip hop lives on”. From his lyrics to his radio show this emcee is determined to become South Africa's 1 MEGA STAR.

“hip hop is like the bill board, radio is the infomercial and TV – which I hope is coming soon – is window display of the product... ME haha”

having started in the streets of Alexandra township as a battle rapper, then graduating to “honerary” speaker at Poetry Workshops in various high schools in his late teens to the Poet Emcee DJ we see today all we know about Nilz for sure is that this is 1 artist with a bright future in the South African Entertainment Industry !

tz deluxe where were you?

A true homage to kwaito by none other than two  legends of SA Hip hop, Tumi & Zubz.
whenever these two collaborate, magic is always the resultant  and TZ Deluxe is no execption.
cleverly choosing kwaito classics and still maintaining relevant rhymes and flow and never 
losing the plot from Malaika's how do you feel, to Mshoza's kortez, Mandosz's Nkalakatha.
 Other notable kwaito artist hounered  include Mdu and Aurthur Mafokate the self crowned 
KIng of Kwaito.
This is a  classic mixtape. 
In Tumi' s words:
This is a mixtape Zubz and i did in 3 days. We hadn’t worked together
the whole of last yer and that felt unusual for us.
December always makes us think back to the golden era of kwaito and it
hit us, do a kwaito mixtape. Our approach was not to over think the
process, just do what comes and we set a three day limit for
ourselves. Our engineer Instro chopped up the old school kwaito hits
and we wrote 3 songs a day. We not trying to ride on anybody’s
fame or glory, we just wanted to reintepret some of our favourite
kwaito tunes and try and relive those magic moments, but most
importantly pay homage to the original artists
